Partap Singh, alias Dharm Singh, son of Dewa Singh, Jat, of Mola, P. S. Garhshankar, District Hoshiarpur. He delivered a seditious lecture at Moorland (U. S. A.) in 1912, and was reported to have left America in 1914 to preach sedition in India. He joined the Akali movement and was the first to reach Nankana after the tragic incident of 1921. On his return he convened a Diwan in his village in March 1921, in which objectionable speeches were made. Was appointed chief Jathedar in the Ilaqas of Garhshankar and Belachaur in the Hoshiarpur district and took a prominent part in the seizure of Gurdwaras at Anandpur and Kiratpur in January 1922. He was arrested and convicted under Section 17(2) of the C. L. A. A. and sentenced to 2 years' rigorous imprisonment in April 1922. In 1927 he was reported to be one of the persons to whom money was remitted from the U. S. A. and Canada for distribution in India. About the middle of that year, he was selected one of a deputation of five by Bhag Singh Canadian (B-47) to be sent to Rangoon ostensibly for collecting funds for the restoration of the Anandpur Gurdwara, but really to be sent on to Russia via China for military training there, in response to the demand of the Sikh revolutionaries abroad for more workers. This attempt does not seem to have materialised. Subsequently he was reported to be a member ofthe Kirti group. At present he lives at Anadpur where he works as a manager ofthe local Gurdwara and is also a member ofthe S. G. P. C., Amritsar. He often attends political meetings and is a close associate ofArjun Singh (A-29), ofKharaudi, district Hoshiarpur. He is a jathedar and owns some land in Mocla Vahidpur village.
